5. Acknowledgements
We sincerely thank the many individuals and organizations who contributed to the develop-
ment of this conservation strategy, including Rebecca Kormos, Valentin Omasombo, Ella Outlaw
and Anthony Rylands. The Primatology Department of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology coordinated the process of collecting and archiving data from bonobo surveys,
funded in part by a grant from the Primate Action Fund. We also thank Annette Lanjouw, Dirck
Byler and Richard Ruggiero for their engagement throughout this conservation process, which was
generously funded and supported by the Great Ape Programme of the Arcus Foundation and the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service Great Ape Conservation Fund.
